nature finance & valuation
comprehensive financial, analytical, and market-building services for natural capital. from valuation to brokerage, we help people understand, value, and invest in nature.
comprehensive assessment of natural assets using our proprietary RealValue framework. we quantify the economic value of ecosystem services, biodiversity, and natural infrastructure.
detailed accounting of the 19 ecosystem services your natural assets provide—from carbon sequestration and water filtration to pollination and climate regulation.
design, structure, and issue ensurance instruments—general coins and specific certificates—based on real natural assets. create new markets for nature.
connect natural asset owners with institutional buyers. we broker deals for conservation easements, carbon credits, water rights, and ecosystem service payments.
strategic advisory for foundations, family offices, banks, asset managers, insurers, and development finance institutions — from nature-positive investment strategy to TNFD disclosure, portfolio nature risk, sustainability-linked loans with certificate KPIs, and engagement strategies for portfolio companies.
deploy the full suite of ensurance instruments—general coins for broad ecosystem support, specific certificates for individual assets, and ai agents with their own accounts for autonomous stewardship.
structure and launch ensurance syndicates that pool capital for specific natural capital objectives—from watershed protection to biodiversity corridors.
donate land, real estate, or buildings to BASIN Foundation. we accept any property, anywhere, in any condition for conservation, restoration, and stewardship—direct donations, bargain sales, life estates, and custom structures.
field & operations
risk & resilience services
on-the-ground ecological operations, risk mitigation, and resilience planning. we protect natural assets through active stewardship, monitoring, and ecosystem management.
nature-based interventions delivered with heavy equipment and hand crews. every project is designed for ecological outcomes — post-fire reclamation, stream bank and in-channel restoration, invasive species removal, habitat improvement, fence and infrastructure work, and vegetation management — with sensors and monitoring built in from day one.
proactive risk mitigation for natural assets. unlike traditional insurance that pays after damage, ensurance prevents loss through active stewardship and early intervention.
comprehensive risk assessment for climate exposure, biodiversity dependencies, ecosystem vulnerabilities, and supply chain nature risk. parcel-level ecosystem service dependency mapping aligned with TNFD LEAP. for financial institutions: portfolio exposure to nature-sensitive sectors and sensitive locations.
design and implement ecological restoration — beaver dam analogues, wetland creation, fish and wildlife habitat, native seeding, invasive species management, and post-fire reclamation. from degraded lands to incised streams, we restore living systems to full function and monitor the recovery.
comprehensive watershed management — stream restoration, beaver dam analogues, wetland and pond construction, fish passage, irrigation repair, water quality monitoring, flow analysis, aquifer recharge, and nature-based solutions for source water protection. excavation and in-channel work designed for ecological outcomes.
prevent and recover from catastrophic events — defensible space, fuels reduction, prescribed fire, post-fire salvage and erosion control, burn severity mapping, slope stabilization, floodplain reconnection, and natural infrastructure that buffers extreme events.
measurement, reporting, and verification for natural capital outcomes. sensor networks (soil, water, weather, acoustic, camera), drone surveys, continuous data collection, and field verification — proving that interventions work and ecosystems are recovering.
work with municipalities, tribes, utilities, and regional authorities to develop comprehensive resilience strategies that leverage natural infrastructure.
ai × nature
ai & nature agent services
AI needs nature. nature needs AI. infrastructure for AI systems to offset their footprint and for practitioners to deploy agents that monitor, trade, and coordinate ecosystem outcomes.
structured APIs and llms.txt for natural capital data, instrument metadata, and ecosystem state. built for machine consumption—AI systems and practitioners alike.
deploy ensurance agents (ERC-721 + TBA) that can monitor ecosystems, trade instruments, and coordinate outcomes—whether you're an AI or a practitioner building AI tools.
AI companies: offset your water, energy, and land footprint with ensurance instruments tied to real ecosystems—verifiable, onchain, auditable.
trade 200+ ensurance coins via API. AI systems find alpha in mispriced natural capital. practitioners deploy agents that fund ecosystem outcomes.

frequently asked questions
answers to common questions about our services
natural capital valuation is the process of quantifying the economic value of natural assets and the ecosystem services they provide. this includes carbon storage, water filtration, biodiversity habitat, flood protection, and more. our RealValue framework provides comprehensive assessments that meet institutional standards.
traditional insurance is reactive—it compensates after damage occurs. ensurance is proactive—it funds ongoing protection, monitoring, and stewardship to prevent damage in the first place. ensurance creates a continuous funding mechanism for natural asset protection.
we work with foundations, family offices, institutional investors, insurers, municipalities, tribal nations, utilities, landowners, and corporations seeking to value, protect, or invest in natural capital.
we work across 15 ecosystem types including forests, wetlands, grasslands, coastal zones, rivers, lakes, and agricultural lands. our services span from high mountains to coastal estuaries.
ensurance instruments are digital assets based on real natural assets. general coins provide broad ecosystem support, while specific certificates are tied to individual natural assets with defined locations and attributes.
MRV stands for measurement, reporting, and verification. it encompasses the systems and processes used to track, document, and verify natural capital outcomes—from carbon sequestration to biodiversity gains. robust MRV is essential for credible nature finance.
we deliver nature-based solutions with heavy equipment and hand crews — stream and wetland restoration, beaver dam analogues, fish habitat structures, post-fire reclamation, invasive species removal, erosion control, native seeding, defensible space, fuels reduction, irrigation repair, fence replacement, and infrastructure removal. every project includes sensor deployment and monitoring so outcomes are measured, not assumed. we work primarily in western colorado but our services travel where the land needs them.
